Yesterday I was working on a post about David Ho, who flew JetBlue. The twist is that he was sick, so like anybody who wants the cold gone, he put some Airborne into his water bottle. A nearby passenger thought it was something concerning so she told her sister who then told the pigs, I mean police.
Anyways, doing my daily reading in between work I came across this story, and felt the need to put it up. It is some fucked up shit. I almost threw my monitor at a nearby coworker, just because he’s a idiot. Well also because when he heard about Journeys new singer being from the Philippines he made it a point to wine “oh hes gotta be lip syncing”. Back on topic…
Read the story here.
“I have paid my dues to earn my permanent residency. I have worked hard to try to give my family (her husband and six siblings) a better life,” said Tejada, who has been apart from her family since 1995, when she began working abroad as a domestic. “I didn’t want to have cancer. It is not my fault.”
Wow. Then I read
“Tejada, who is on morphine to ease her pain, was forced to quit her later job at a Tim Hortons because of her illness and has been living on disability assistance – another factor working against her application to stay. Her husband, Noli Azada, has flown in from their poor village to look after her.”
Whats worse, is that this isn’t a isolated incident. There has been numerous times of our folks getting 1) Deported and 2) Not receiving the proper aid/support. *Cough* See previous post about the pitiful Dictator President of Philippines here in the United States to see Pacquio fight instead of bein back home. Especially with the recent events just happening. Take for example this Inquirer article, criticizing her absence. I also prefer to check out BayanUSA and BAYAN Phils, for the really real word in the streets.
